Buy you this amp:
* AutoTek AT-2000.1 - Very Cheap - But It's EVERY BIT of GOOD! *
I pushed (6) 12" Hifonics HFI12Ds with it... ( running @ 1.3 ohm - It's 1 ohm stable )

Okay so, my girlfriend just decided to give me another 15in Kicker sub. The peak power for it is only 500 watts so you think those amps you listed above would power all of them? I really dont wanna spend over $125 but i guess ill consider it.

Yes, they would but do not run different brand and model subs in the same install. In this case more would not equal better..

[The milkman]

So I should just stay with the two original 15in subs? And is that autotek amp any good?

Of the ones mclerico83 posted, which is best for my subs wattage wise? I really dont wanna bust subs but i dont wanna not run enough into them..sorry im so new to car audio stuff

Just grab the MB Quart you will be happy with it.

FYI: Autotek - MB Quartz - Crunch - Hifonics
... IS ALL THE SAME COMPANY!

The Autotek 2000.1 is a great amp...
... I used a CHEAP Pyramid Subwoofer Crossover to help the hertz boost out ( It costs: $17 on Ebay )

Amp cost: $114 - Crossover cost: $17 - TOTAL: $135 - Result: AMAZING BUDGET SETUP!

[disturbed471985]

Same company yes same quality no. That Autotek will at best do 1000@1ohm (75a fusing) vs the MB quart that does 1500@1ohm (140a fusing) both cost the same so why would I buy the worst of the two??

Ok, so I have an 800 watt nitro amp powering 2 12 inch baja subwoofers with a ported box, and a 600 watt 4 channel sony explode amp powering 3 speakers all in a 1995 jeep. The original setup was 2 10 in jl subs with the 4 channel 600 watt sony (still only 3 speakers), and the 10's used to rattle and beat way harder than these 2 12's even seem capable of doing. I have an aftermarket sony deck, and the sony amp is connected to this as as well as the subs i think. I ran a blue power wire from the sony (600 watt) to the nitro (800 watt) and it turns on and everything and powers the subs. I also have a "Y Split" between the amps. The subs are connected to the 800 watt nitro. Now I did something wrong because (a) the older subs used to pound incredibly better (b) the right front right speaker plays when I turn the speaker settings all the way to the left, and (c) the front right speaker, (which is a 160 watt sony) is louder than the back two original speakers. I would really appreciate it if someone could share the knowledge that would save me money and time, and I would be forever grateful. I'm relatively new to the car audio scene, and helping me fix this would be greatly welcomed and not forgotten.

Wow man. First you would need to start your own thread. Second you need to shorten that up abit I got lost after the 2nd sentence.
